Receiving your bin
Council will distribute a standard 240 litre bin to each property that has requesting a service on approved Rural and Urban collection routes.
An alternate 120 litre bin is available on request.
The charge for bin collection is set by Council based on the clearance of one bin per week. If additional bins are required, these will be charged at the same rate.
- Each bin has a serial number, this number is recorded against your property to enable tracing in the event of theft or loss
- The bin is not transferable and must remain at the property in the event of you moving or relocating to another address
- Please refrain from numbering or defecting the bin (if you find it necessary, a small identification sticker could be placed inside the lid)
- In the event of loss, damage, theft, defect or any concerns with the service, please contact the council on 5382 9777 or fill in this form. Please note that charges will apply if the bin is deliberately damaged or stolen unless satisfactory explanation is given by the ratepayer
- The bin remains the property of council, minor maintenance can be carried out on request
- The bin should be stored in a shady area in your property, on a flat surface and should be kept clean
- Please return the bin to your property after collection as soon as possible. Bins should be left on the nature-strip or road shoulder, near your driveway for collection purposes only
- Deliberate damage or theft in bins may result in Council not re-issuing units to particular premises and discontinuing the service or taking legal action
- Regular washing of your bin will keep it fresh and it is recommended especially during the warmer periods
